Eggless Baking, Yeasted Breads

Whole wheat Poppy seed Dinner rolls for #breadbakers

Baking after a really long hiatus has its challenges. Somehow, the idea of baking kept postponing due to various reasons – Family member who’s been unwell for a long time, travel, personal commitments  and much more.

With these poppy seed dinner rolls, I hope to make bread (and in general) baking to be more often now. These rolls are soft and melt in the mouth, i took a short video too to show how soft these were , but it got unfortunately deleted before I could take a backup…  

Nevertheless, these can accompany your pasta or soup (which is how we ate them). 

These need just 60-75 mins resting time, and they can also be made with all purpose flour. I used stone ground whole wheat flour (a.k.a Chakki ka aata in local lingo) and they were fluffy and gorgeous.

How to:

In a stand mixer, add all the ingredients except poppy seeds and make a smooth , elastic dough. If Kneading by hand, make sure it passes the window pane test. You may require more or less water depending on the quality of the flour. 

Covered and keep aside for 60-75 mins or till doubled. Grease a baking tray or silpat sheet lightly.

Punch the dough gently and make 6-8 equal portions of the dough. Roll them in the base of your palm like buns / dinner rolls. Keep covered for 15 mins, when your oven is preheating to 180C/ 375F.

Once the rolls are risen, brush them slightly with warm milk or oil(I used this), and sprinkle poppy seeds on them. Bake for 15-18 mins or till slightly golden brown. Serve warm
